I feel responsible... because a number of them were out there because of me. Alyssa took a vote before we were knocked unconscious so I cannot help but... feel as though it drove a point home.
[SOO-WON your POSSE]
Myself, Alyssa, Ange, Hansa, Blanca, Alex, and Yoshizawa.... and Goat.
Ange and I intended on exiting since last week - there was something I wanted to check outside. I invited Hansa... but due to the effects, Alex came with him. Blanca sounded worried when I suggested that Ange and I would be going out, so he volunteered to come with.
Alyssa and Yoshizawa... well, I'm attached to the latter for the week - but Alyssa was worried about me after...
[they stumbled out post-cyoa]
I'd already thought once everyone gathered that I ought to be more quiet about my intentions. I hadn't expected that they'd all...
[care so much?]
Mm. Regardless, I hope that clarifies why I feel especially motivated.
A few questions... The first being - doors lock if you are inside, but what happens if you are outside? I wanted to confirm that no one could hear us regardless of which door we knocked out.
I also wanted to establish if there were boundary lines outside - if we could make it to the forest or not, given that last week those outside didn't even seem to realize anything was happening.
Whether or not our knocks were heard will be determined come tomorrow - I'd like to once again recount where everyone was before they were knocked out.
However we were not able to reach the forest - a magical barrier was erected. Thus, it seems that we are left in certain sections that we cannot leave within the hour.
Goat was with us, and didn't seem able to leave either. I would also like to check in with Swan, who was apparently in the Northern area.
Cater, most likely - I wasn't with Yona last night. [SOO-WON THE PLAZA POSSE] But the two have been quite attached this week. It sounds like something she'd do as well.
So....
It perhaps leads us to the idea that Cater was expecting a brawl - and her attacker was more shrewd, not arriving to meet her immediately.
However this also eliminates Yona from being involved in anything last night, else Cater's messaging would be different. If Yona was awake at all, she would've gone to her aid.
[Chiron, for his part, does not agree nor disagree, but merely longs along in tandem]
Xie Lian was with me during my search, so he will also be able to verify the placements of the messages.
... I also found a small... purse? The kind with a zipper attached. It had a small pin of a fire bird on the outside. Inside was space food, as well as a crystal.

[he gives a short nod]
I cannot help but feel responsible. [a beat] Ah - not for... any harm to Sharon or Cater but...
[he'll offer up his arm as if to show - it looks like the sleeve is a bit tattered? the legs around his robes seem to be in the same condition]
... I woke up like this - here. And so did everyone who came with me.

[he takes careful note of the tattered robes, frowning slightly]
Who else was with you?

Myself, Alyssa, Ange, Hansa, Blanca, Alex, and Yoshizawa.... and Goat.
[a beat]
Goat was there for other reasons.
no subject
He is still staring at Won, brows knitted.]
You asked them all to join you, then?
no subject
No.

What was it that you wanted to check outside with Miss Ange?

no subject
[Eyes lighting up a little because those are good questions in his eyes]
Very good questions. Were you able to solve any of them? Or were you put to sleep before anything of note could be learned?

[The fact that even Goat couldn't leave is... concerning, but Chiron will put that to the side for now]
While I was out searching, I did come across two messages... one of them messaged Yona, and I did wish to ask if you had any thoughts on the matter.
no subject
there's a moment where the surprise hits his eyes but otherwise his expression remains curious only]
Relay the message to me?
no subject
"If you find this, then don’t touch Yona! I’ll be waiting for you. Come find me and don’t drag anyone else into this."
And then the second message, found on the wall next to the ticket machines at the train station:
"Come out and face me you coward!"
Both were presumably written by the same person, as the handwriting matched.

Have you heard or seen of this before?

this description]
... N-No....?
It doesn't ring any bells, at least. Oh - though I did receive a crystal today.
You may possess greater luck in asking Yona if she's familiar with Cater's inventory.
no subject
Such as the rocks we found weeks ago, or do you speak of something else?
[Also nodding at the part about Yona. He will absolutely ask her to verify if that purse thing was Cater's]
no subject
No, it's an obsidian, I believe? It has a special power that can be activated.
